Next to the hot springs, the bonfire is swaying, and the shadow is sultry.More than 30 young girls dressed in brocade clothes, accompanied by cheerful music, raised their arms, twisted their waists, and spun sharply.The eyes are as smart as a lark, the waist and feet are as smart as a snow leopard, the skirt is flying, like a flying cloud, and the toes kick up, tugging at everyone's heartstrings.Liang Xiao opened his arms and soaked in the hot spring, looking at the scenery full of joy but hidden murder, and at the king of Khotan, who was worried but had to force a smile, and secretly laughed.The king of Khotan must not be in a good mood at the moment, worried about the success of the bait attack and the unsuccessful bait attack.Whether it succeeds or not, it is a tragic outcome for him.The only difference is how tragic it is.The theft in successive days seemed to prove that Dongfang Shuo's trapping plan was approaching success step by step, but they only brought a total of 500 cavalry, even if it included 200 Han troops, whether they could defeat the enemy that could appear at any time, I am afraid that the king of Khotan had doubts in his heart.He had experienced the war himself, but he had not seen the combat effectiveness of the Han army with his own eyes, and it was normal for him to be worried.Liang Xiao is full of confidence, there are more than 100 Liang family troops led by Tu Niuer and Pang Shuo in the two hundred Han army, mainly Jiangdu rangers, after the long-term training of Huan Yuan and Zhongli period, whether it is foot combat ability or archery, it is remarkable, plus five archers such as Firefox, the combat power is absolutely reliable.The remaining hundred or so people are also carefully selected Chang'an rangers, and there are more than 30 sharpshooters selected from the dilapidated Wudan.These archers may not be as good as Firefox and others, but compared to ordinary archers, their overall strength is definitely a lot higher.In the battlefield he chose, with these people, Liang Xiao had the confidence to block the elite ten times his size, if it was an ordinary bandit, three or four thousand, he would have nothing to worry about.But he would not say to the king of Khotan that it was good to make the king of Khotan nervous.Let him see the combat effectiveness of the Han army with his own eyes, which will be of great help to the Han people in controlling Khotan in the future.Kill chickens and set an example for monkeys, the thieves are chickens, and the king of Khotan is that monkey.Dongfang Shuo was wearing a bull's nose robe, shirtless, holding a Khotanese beauty in one hand, and was playing in the water.The Nanshan countries and the Qiang people intermarry more, the appearance is not as obvious as the Tianshan countries, but it retains the characteristics of fair skin, these two women are beauties in the Khotanese palace, the figure is so good that there is nothing to say, rich breasts and waist, long legs and fat buttocks, a soak in the hot springs, clothes are attached to the body, people can't take their eyes off.Dongfang Shuo hugged left and right, proud, happy like a fairy.However, the king of Khotan, who was close at hand, smiled reluctantly, unwilling to go into the water, wrapped in a leather robe, and looked ready to fight or flee for his life at any time.A Khotanese guard hurried over and muttered a few words in the ear of the king of Khotan.The king of Khotan's face changed greatly, rushed to the hot spring, and bowed to Liang Xiao."
General, the bandits are coming.""
There's no hurry."
Liang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.I'm not afraid that you will come, but I am afraid that you will not come."
How many people" "It's dark, I can't see clearly, but depending on the length of the line, it should be no less than five hundred." ”"How many tribes are coming" "It's not decided yet, I guess they're all here." ”"That's great."
Liang Xiao looked at the king of Khotan."
Are you nervous" King Khotan's cheek twitched, and his pampered face showed a little embarrassment.He looked at Liang Xiao, Liang Xiao's shoulders and back were scarred, and several penetrating injuries were particularly dazzling.Usually looking at Liang Xiao, although he is serious, he is not vicious, but looking at Liang Xiao at this moment, even if he smiles very gently, with this respectful face, it always makes people a little frightened.Every scar proves that this young Han soldier in front of him is not a good talker, he has experienced life and death, and has great force.The king of Khotan can not be afraid of thieves, but he can't not be afraid of Liang Xiao.However, the king of Khotan could not show his cowardice.He is the king of Khotan, and if he is too cowardly, how will he rule in the future."
Don't worry, with the presence of my Han army warriors, I will ensure that the king is safe."
Dongfang Shuo walked over, grabbed the king of Khotan, and dragged him into the water.The king of Khotan was caught off guard, drank a few sips of water, and was soaked, embarrassed, and embarrassed.Dongfang Shuo laughed."
What are you doing like that, we are honest with you, you are very wary of us.""
Don't dare, don't dare."
The king of Khotan stood up in the water, carrying his wet clothes, and prepared to climb up."
Come, for the king."
Dongfang Shuo beckoned, called the two beauties, and asked them to rip off the clothes of the king of Khotan, leaving only a pair of pants.The king of Khotan was in a hurry and had to squat in the water.He is not like Liang Xiao and Dongfang Shuo, he has a strong muscle, he is old, his muscles are loose, and he has long lost the capital to show off.was suddenly stripped naked by Dongfang Shuo, and he was really embarrassed.Liang Xiao comforted: "Don't worry, the king, Wangshan ran a dead horse, it's midnight again, wait for the bandits to run here, at least half an hour later."
We had enough time to prepare, and the king soaked in the hot springs while waiting to see the show.This time, be sure to make them pay for what they did. ”The king of Khotan laughed a few times and had to sit down.After a while, another guard came to report that some of the bandits had entered the valley.After a while, the guards came to report that there were more and more bandits, and the total number might exceed a thousand.They blocked the exit to the lake, with the intention of catching them all.After a while, another guard came to report that a bandit had also appeared at the exit on the west side of the hot spring.The king of Khotan's face was as pale as earth.The total number of bandits is nearly 2,000, and they are sandwiched from east to west, so they have to be caught in one go.If the bandits are allowed to succeed, the country of Khotan will be considered dead.If it weren't for Liang Xiao himself being here, the king of Khotan would almost suspect that Liang Xiao was killing people with a knife, and he would have taken the opportunity to capture Khotan.Liang Xiao smiled and shook his head."
A thief is a thief, and he can't do anything useful except stealing chickens and dogs.Fighting with such a person is simply an insult to our Han army. ”He stood up."
Man Qian, sit with the king, I'll come when I go."
Dongfang Shuo glanced at Liang Xiao."
It's a little bigger, I want you to find someone in person, and we'll continue to drink."
Liang Xiao thought about it and sat down again."
It makes sense, look for Guo Wu and Pang Shuo."
One of the guards answered and turned to go.Liang Xiao turned back into the pool, and the two Khotanese girls immediately greeted him and were courteous.But the face of the king of Khotan changed greatly.What does this mean, Liang Xiao didn't go out in person, let his men deal with these bandits, "General" Liang Xiao saw the nervousness of the king of Khotan, and said with a smile: "The king doesn't have to worry, I am here to accompany the king, if there is danger, I am willing to use my body as a shield to protect the king."
Leave those little things to them. ”As he spoke, Guo Wu and Pang Shuo came to the front.Liang Xiao said: "Pang Shuo, within a hundred steps, someone is close to him, and there is no mercy for killing. ”Pang Shuo gave up."
Guo Wu, these bandits are addicted to looting, teach them a good lesson, so that they will flee when they hear your name in the future."
Guo Wu was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed.He understood what Liang Xiao meant, this was to let him guard Khotan.Khotan is a place where jade is produced, and it is also an important town in Nanshan, and being able to guard here is definitely Liang Xiao's trust in him."
Don't worry, and see how we kill the thief.""
Go ahead."
Liang Xiao waved his hand, Guo Wu and Pang Shuo turned around and were about to leave, but Dongfang Shuo stopped them.He pointed to the girls who were singing and dancing."
Have you seen it clearly, the top 30 in the merit book will be selected in order."
Guo Wu and Pang Shuo glanced at each other and shouted in unison: "Thank you, thank you, sir." ”After saying that, they scrambled to run.Pang Shuo's steps were big, and the Liang family he led was also close, Liang Xiao and the others heard his roar first: "Brothers, aren't you greedy for these girls, the opportunity has come, the prince has an order, and the top thirty warriors are selected in order."
Can we let these good girls fall into the hands of those brutes" Except for some mercenaries in the Western Regions, most of the Liang family's troops are Jiangdu rangers, and they have done a lot of things like stealing incense and powder, and after coming to the Western Regions, the women of the Western Regions have also seen a lot, but these beauties are from the Khotanese palace, which is rare for them to encounter.When they heard that there was a chance to get one, they laughed and shouted, "No, we have to protect them" and "That's right, we have to keep them all and not make them regret it for the rest of their lives." ”"Listen up."
Pang Shuo shouted: "Take out your real skills, let the girls see who is the real man." ”"Okay" "Yes" Guo Wu walked slowly, stood aside with his arms crossed, and watched Pang Shuo boost his morale.After Pang Shuo finished speaking, he looked at him triumphantly, and then smiled slightly."
I'm sorry, brothers, there is a difference between inside and outside, you are responsible for guarding the monarch, you can't just leave your post."
When Pang Shuo heard this, his thick eyebrows raised."
What do you mean?"
"I mean it very clearly, if you want to make meritorious contributions, you must first ask us if we agree or not.If we kill almost all the enemies, even if you have the best skills, can you still hurt people with flying swords?""
I'll rely on" Pang Shuo slapped his thigh, dumbfounded."
How is this good" Guo Wu returned to his position and told the truth of the matter, and these guards immediately burst into laughter.Although the origins of these people are complicated, some are Liang Xiao's newly recruited rangers, some are Guo Wu's old department, and some are Wudan's old department who have just surrendered, but at this moment, they have the same hatred for the enemy and decided not to give Pang Shuo and others a chance to pick up cheap."
Let them watch us kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions to hug the beauty, but they only drool" "So that they can't even eat fart." ”Success boosted morale, and Guo Wu immediately arranged his troops.He arranged the archers who were good at shooting on the slopes on both sides, and arranged the ones who were good at foot combat in the valley, and he himself led more than a dozen cavalry soldiers to immediately follow the foot, holding spears and preparing to charge.The horses of the others also stood behind the battle, and as for the soldiers of Khotan, he arranged them behind him to watch the battle, and he had no intention of sending them into battle.Everything was ready, and half an hour later, a group of more than two hundred thieves appeared in front of Guo Wu and the others.Seeing the soldiers of the Han army waiting for battle, they were all stunned.A sneak attack turned into a strong attack, which was a big blow to their psyche.If it weren't for the fact that the number of Han soldiers standing in the formation was very small, only a few dozen, they might have turned around and left.After a moment's hesitation, they attacked.The Han army was motionless and stunned, only the old Wudan troops who had just surrendered were a little nervous, and they shot two arrows, which were immediately stopped.It wasn't until the bandits rushed within more than ten paces that the chaotic arrows landed on the shields and oracle bones of the Han army's foot soldiers that Guo Wu gave the order to shoot.The archers on the slopes on both sides are all masters of archery, and the distance of more than ten steps is no different from what they are in front of them, even if the light is not good, they can hit a hundred times.There is a noticeable difference between good archers and ordinary archers, who do not shoot in a covered way, but pick as many valuable targets as possible to maximize the benefits of each arrow.At this moment, these thirty or so first-class archery shooters invariably chose those who looked the most ferocious, or who looked like the leader, to shoot, although the number of casualties was limited, the effect was very obvious.In a few breaths, after a round of shooting, almost everyone fired three or four arrows, and almost all of the more than a hundred arrows in total hit the target, and those warriors who were in charge of commanding or boosting morale with personal force suffered a fierce blow, losing more than half of them.Watching their companions fall, the bandits were in a state of confusion, some continued to rush forward, while others stopped and planned to retreat, or to find the position of the opposing archer, intending to return fire.Taking advantage of this opportunity, the infantry in the formation fought back, and they roared and rushed forward.The bandits were hit head-on, and one by one they fell in a pool of blood, and the formation was even more chaotic.Guo Wu immediately seized the opportunity, kicked his horse and began to charge, and more than ten knights followed him, bypassing the foot soldiers, and rushed towards the bandits.They had been in the valley for a few days, and they had a clear understanding of the terrain, and had even cleared it in advance to facilitate the cavalry charge.At this moment, they are like tigers descending from the mountain, unstoppable.The bandit immediately collapsed, shouted for the sky and grabbed the ground, turned his head and ran.Guo Wu was unhurried, urging the horse to trot, and drove the more than 100 thieves forward.The archers also stepped on their horses, approached Guo Wu, and continued to shoot with their bows and arrows, while the foot soldiers also jumped on their horses and followed the charge.The bandits were panicked, screaming, and fleeing.The bandits who were following behind were puzzled when they heard the shouts of killing in front of them.The original plan was a sneak attack, at least a siege with more bullying and less, what I heard should be the horn of the Qiang people taking advantage of the victory to pursue, why is it now that I hear the war drums of the Han people taking advantage of the victory to pursue Before they could understand what was going on, the defeated bandit vanguard rushed over, and the frightened cries shattered the sweet dreams of the bandits at once.Immediately afterwards, the rumbling sound of horses' hooves sounded, and Guo Wu and others killed, wantonly killing yznn:
